Got the taxi driver from hell from JFK to our hotel. Started off he didn't want to take us, then he did but drove like a maniac the whole way there. He was speeding, on his phone and hit one kerb so hard Caitlin bumped her head. Then when we got to the hotel he fixed it so I had to give him a 20% tip! I didn't think it sounded right so I took a photo of his ID and then asked at the hotel. There is definitely no minimum tip! So I rang and put in a complaint about him!
The lady at the front desk of our hotel, The Manhattan at Times Square was lovely!! She said she would try and get us in to our room early as check in wasn't until 4pm. We went for a walk and had some breakfast. McDonalds!! :(( The kids were hungry and Ian and I needed coffee! Called to say hi to the girls who were all at Susan's house for her birthday! It was really nice seeing their faces - I am missing some girlie time!
Walked to Times Square which is really close and had a look at some shops. We checked out the M&M store. It is kind of weird being back here again. Everyone was exhausted so we headed back and managed to get in to our hotel by 12pm! Everyone else was asleep within 30 minutes. I unpacked and sorted out a few things and then I joined them. We didn't wake up until about 5pm!
Did a bit of research and googling for the coming days and then went for a walk to find somewhere for dinner. New York by night is simply amazing! The lights are so bright it's just like day time!
Went to a place called Tonic for dinner which had $11 burger, fries & beer deal and kids eat free. Lucky 2 of our children are under 11 lol! Someone asked me yesterday how old my kids were and I had to think twice lol! They are going to be very confused children by the time we get home! :)
